Recently with my spiritual life...well it's odd to write down into words as opposed to the overall impression I get. But basically, it's been ups and downs as usual. Only there are more ups than downs, so that's good. Sometimes I get frustrated by how little I think of God throughout the day. Logically, it seems like I should always be thinking about Him since pursuing God is the only way any of my actions have value...but I don't think about the guy too much.
It seems like given clear moral choices, I usually pick the right action but whenever there is no "sin" option I really just coast. For example, today I ate lunch by myself at a college food court. It was a long day and honestly, not talking to anyone struck me as great since I usually like to be by myself sometimes whenever I'm tired. And there over yonder I saw someone eating their lunch who didn't look particularly happy. That's when I asked myself if I should just sit and eat with them while engaging in a silly discussion to make them feel better. My overall answer to the question was "meh" I feel like this is how I respond a lot of the time to going the extra mile. If I'm not sinning, unfortunately right now that's "good enough" but really it's not. There is no "good enough" because if there is anything better I should strive for it, right? But again, there's what I "know" and there's what I truly understand. But overall, I really am making progress in being a better Christian I believe.
O, I'm going to start looking more into Islam. At the moment, I'm certainly not expecting to be converted or anything but it is an Abrahamic religion and seems to be gaining a lot of influence in the world. Shouldn't I learn more about it, if nothing else, to understand other people better? I think so but a lot of my Christian friends don't understand the whole "learning about another religion" thing. They seem skeptical like I'm going to change religions just because I hear about another faith...honestly, it seems silly. But I suppose they have their reasons. I just wish they'd explain their worries, because it strikes me as ridiculously intolerant and ignorant to not even look at the beliefs of others. But I suppose that's just me.
